Getting Money vs. Keeping Money

Filed Under Budgeting |

Your alarm goes off. You roll over and think, “Monday. Ugh.” You force yourself out of bed, get in the shower and go through the motions of getting yourself ready for work.

While you are at work, you may have children in daycare. Or your kids may have to be home all by themselves for a short time either before or after school.

Your work may prevent you from attending your kids’ concerts, games, or coaching their little league team. Work may keep you from spending holidays with extended family.

Work most certainly adds an extra amount of stress to your life. It can cause you to be in a bad mood when you get home, which then ruins valuable family time. It can keep you awake at night with worry.

All of this for what? Money. Moola. Cha-ching. Oh, I know they are other benefits, but mostly we work for money.

So my question is this: Why do people put so much effort and sacrifice into getting the money, yet almost no effort or sacrifice into keeping the money?
